Crater by Dua captures the warm, gourmand DNA of Grand Soir with a solid interpretation of its creamy benzoin and tonka-vanilla base. The clone maintains good spice and resinous depth, though it tends to feel slightly less refined in the transitions between notes and lacks some of the original's sophisticated amber complexity.
Crater performs slightly shorter in longevity and projects with less refinement than the designer, with a somewhat more linear progression rather than the original's evolving sophistication. The sweetness is comparable but slightly more forward-facing in the clone.
What people who wear Dua Crater report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“This reminds me of Bentley for men Intense. The dry down is softer (think a tad more powder). Overall it's a pretty good scent. Sprayed lightly in cold weather, I've found it to be a compliment getter. If sprayed heavy it is a bit much for most folks. I haven't had the chance to experience Grand Soir (sorry). This isn't a blind reach but it's worthy of a well rounded collection. No alcohol smell but it still needs time to dry down. My lady thinks it's average and I would go a bit higher. Hope this helps someone!”
“Dua's clone of MFK Grand Soir.A unisex powerhouse. Some women are turned off by the smell initially, and i agree it is slightly masculine for about a half hour after you spray, but it quickly changes and dries down into something mass pleasing and 100% unisex. Great sillage and longevity.Ideal for cold weather.”
“Deep, sexy amber and vanilla. Unisex. A very good (if not the best) clone of Grand Soir (GS). GS is just a tad more resinous and a tad deeper. A wee bit more vanilla coming through on the Crater. I do prefer GS, but that's me being sentimental and nitpicky. If you are looking for a GS clone, it isn't dead on. However, it is so darn close! I'd say 85%-90% similarity.”
